Police identify man and woman killed, woman’s son injured in apparent murder-suicide in Coral Gables – NBC 6 South Florida

Police have identified the man and woman killed in a shooting-suicide in Coral Gables on Thursday, as well as the woman’s son, who was injured.

Lusine Melikyan, 41, and Matthew Vincent Roll, 60, were killed in the shooting, while 20-year-old Suren Mkrtchyan survived, Miami-Dade police said Friday.

Coral Gables police arrived at the scene of an apartment building in the 320 block of Granello Avenue around 9:40 a.m. Thursday for a report of a shooting.

Miami-Dade police officials said Mkrtchyan called 911 to report that he had been shot and that two other people had been shot in an apartment.

When officers arrived, they found Melikyan and Roll shot dead, as well as Mkrtchyan wounded.

Mkrtchyan was taken to Jackson South Hospital, where he underwent surgery and is in critical but stable condition, police said.

According to police, Roll was probably the shooter and he and Melikyan were in a kind of civil partnership.

Mkrtchyan is Melikyan’s son, police said.

The documents showed that Roll and Melikyan had just completed bankruptcy proceedings in federal court.

Police have not yet released a possible motive for the shooting, but said the investigation is ongoing.
